what is your least favorite part of writing?

Mine is the very beginning on how to introduce the characters to everyone.

The middle. I am forever worrying about pacing, plot lines...

Description. I can't shake the feeling I will accidentally start writing totally abstract poetry in the middle of it. Plus I hate irrelevant details. Like, I'd much rather describe how the character reacts to things, what she says, how she feels than what she looks like. It just seems so meaningless.
When you look at your life, in a strange new room, maybe drowning soon, is this the start of it all?

The rising action. If I could write the beginning and the climax and completely ignore everything in between, oh how fun that would be :P

Read my mind, I really would rather write dialogue or thoughts.

Really, I love descriptions. It makes writing delicious.

I also love the research part of everything. It's the most fun, in my opinion.

My least favorite part is the editing. After everything is written down and you have to go back and tear your work to pieces. It hurts. :[
But that is not the question. Why we are here, that is the question. And we are blessed in this, that we happen to know the answer. Yes, in this immense confusion one thing alone is clear. We are waiting for Godot to come. -Beckett

yeah, it hurts when you are edit. the things you really like the most that you have to get rid of are the ones that hurt the most.

It's a tie between ending it, editing and researching. When I research, I tend to forget the matter at hand. Like on Wikipedia, I might look up "Poetry", then forget all about it and click "Shakespeare", then "Elizabethan", so forth.

It's next to impossible to end it for me. It always sounds unfinished. And every time I edit, it sounds weird.
